Super-resolution Line Spectrum Estimation with Block Priors
We address the problem of super-resolution line spectrum estimation of an
undersampled signal with block prior information. The component frequencies of
the signal are assumed to take arbitrary continuous values in known frequency
blocks. We formulate a general semidefinite program to recover these
continuous-valued frequencies using theories of positive trigonometric
polynomials. The proposed semidefinite program achieves super-resolution
frequency recovery by taking advantage of known structures of frequency blocks.
Numerical experiments show great performance enhancements using our method.Comment: 7 pages, double colum
Learning parametric dictionaries for graph signals
In sparse signal representation, the choice of a dictionary often involves a
tradeoff between two desirable properties -- the ability to adapt to specific
signal data and a fast implementation of the dictionary. To sparsely represent
signals residing on weighted graphs, an additional design challenge is to
incorporate the intrinsic geometric structure of the irregular data domain into
the atoms of the dictionary. In this work, we propose a parametric dictionary
learning algorithm to design data-adapted, structured dictionaries that
sparsely represent graph signals. In particular, we model graph signals as
combinations of overlapping local patterns. We impose the constraint that each
dictionary is a concatenation of subdictionaries, with each subdictionary being
a polynomial of the graph Laplacian matrix, representing a single pattern
translated to different areas of the graph. The learning algorithm adapts the
patterns to a training set of graph signals. Experimental results on both
synthetic and real datasets demonstrate that the dictionaries learned by the
proposed algorithm are competitive with and often better than unstructured
dictionaries learned by state-of-the-art numerical learning algorithms in terms
of sparse approximation of graph signals. In contrast to the unstructured
dictionaries, however, the dictionaries learned by the proposed algorithm
feature localized atoms and can be implemented in a computationally efficient
manner in signal processing tasks such as compression, denoising, and
classification
On the Equivalence Between a Minimal Codomain Cardinality Riesz Basis Construction, a System of Hadamard–Sylvester Operators, and a Class of Sparse, Binary Optimization Problems
Piecewise, low-order polynomial, Riesz basis families are constructed such that they share the same coefficient functionals of smoother, orthonormal bases in a localized indexing subset. It is shown that a minimal cardinality basis codomain can be realized by inducing sparsity, via l1 regularization, in the distributional derivatives of the basis functions and that the optimal construction can be found numerically by constrained binary optimization over a suitably large dictionary. Furthermore, it is shown that a subset of these solutions are equivalent to a specific, constrained analytical solution, derived via Sylvester-type Hadamard operators
